The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
by Niphredilien (Yellow_Faerie)
For a long while, the tension in the air is from the Silmaril that hangs around Dior’s neck and the more and more insistent letters from Maedhros Faenorion demanding it back.
That’s all people talk about, all people think about: when will the Faenorions, in their flaming red armour and with their golden sword, finally break and attack? When will they do unto Doriath as they did unto Alqualondë? When will they kill again in the name of their father and his jewels?
They wonder and theorise and miss the orcs amassing in the North, until the attack is days away and inevitable.
Nimloth is the Queen of a doomed people - doomed not by the gods but by the ever encroaching war on their doorstop. With no magical barrier left to protect them, it is up to her and her beloved husband to keep them safe.That is made much more difficult when during the evacuation they and a few remaining sindar in the forest are separated from the main host by Morgoth's early attack; thankfully (or not) the Faenorians save them.Now, they just have to get to the havens and reconnect with their people.That shouldn't be too difficult. Right?
